Chapter 59 This is absolutely outrageous!
Xu Yinan stood between Yun Zhao and Li Dali's men.
“Master Li, if you don’t trust my niece, why are you locking us up?”
Li Dali raised his hand, signaling the others to step back.
"Go ahead and do it."
He's not even as brave as a little baby. If word gets out, how will Li Dali face people again?
Yun Zhao then continued to administer acupuncture, placing the silver needles below his right eye, which pricked him so much that he couldn't help but squint.
After a long while, Li Dali felt that his eyelids, which were twitching from time to time, seemed to have eased, and his eye sockets began to feel hot.
How are you feeling?
"It's warm and cozy!"
He searched all over the Great Zhou for famous doctors, but none of them could alleviate his symptoms, which only worsened day by day.
But this little girl in front of him, who couldn't even reach his height when he was sitting up, actually made him feel better after just a few needle pricks.
Yun Zhao removed the silver needles, tilted his head, and asked, "Does anyone here know how to read?"
"Of course, would a gambling house as big as mine be illiterate and just sit here to be swindled?"
Li Dali is getting old, and even if he doesn't have time to learn himself, he should train one of his trusted confidants to be literate.
"Bring me paper and pen. I'll tell you what medicinal herbs I need, and you can write them down and follow the prescription."
Yun Zhao nodded his little head as he spoke, while his confidant diligently copied it down beside him.
After she finished writing, her confidant handed it to her, asking, "Is this all?"
Yun Zhao looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"I'm only five years old, how could I understand it?"
Close confidant: ...
"You can't read, so how did you prescribe the medicine?"
"I don't need to read books to study; I can remember everything the teacher says after hearing it only once!"
"Besides, I'm still young, so what if I don't know so many words yet? I'll know them when I grow up!"
Yun Zhao said confidently.
"Uncle Li, is our bet settled?"
"You do have some skill, but our bet was to cure it. You've only given my eyes some relief."
"Then I'll collect some interest~ What were those Imperial Guards doing here just now?"
That person just now was Yan Jing. When Yan Jing ransacked her home, she clung to his leg desperately, hoping to poison him.
She dared not poison him in front of everyone, for the poison would only make him extremely ugly.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials were required to have regular facial features and no defects.
Not to mention the Imperial Guards, who frequently patrolled the palace and represented the imperial family.
A scoundrel who abuses his position as commander of the Imperial Guard to humiliate others at will.
The greatest torment for him would be to strip him of his power!
Yun Zhao thought that he might have come to find someone to cure his poison, but why would he find a casino in a county town?
Li Dali fiddled with the teacups on the table, saying nonchalantly, "He knows that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley has come down the mountain, and he also knows that I know the other party. He wants me to act as a go-between and help him get rid of the poison."
Has Master gone down the mountain?
In the eighth year of the Yuanqi era, the master descended the mountain because of a plague in Jiangnan.
Could it be that a plague has already swept through Jiangnan?!
Her father is still in Jiangnan!
Why did the Valley Master descend the mountain?
Yun Zhao frowned, looking rather old-fashioned, which aroused Li Dali's curiosity.
"Do you know the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?"
"Who doesn't know someone who studies medicine? You're really strange."
Yun Zhao, with an expression that suggested he didn't want to talk to him, put away his needle case and reached out his hand to Xu Yinan.
"Uncle, let's go!"
"You haven't given me the antidote yet, where do you think you're going?"
As soon as Li Dali finished speaking, his confidant stepped forward and stopped Xu Yinan and his nephew.
"I never said I wouldn't treat you. Just come with me."
"Who exactly are you?"
"I'm an exiled prisoner, destined for Lingnan. If you don't release me, it might trigger a city-wide manhunt!"
The confidant suddenly looked at Li Dali.
If it were just an ordinary person, even if they had some power, they would kill them without a second thought.
Who can prove that they are in the hands of the Li family's gambling den?
But exiled prisoners are different.
Those who were exiled through Yangguan County were usually officials in Beijing who had offended their superiors.
If such a person goes missing, Lord Yang will definitely conduct a city-wide manhunt.
If anyone finds out that the uncle and nephew entered the gambling den and then disappeared from it, Li Dali's gambling den in Yangguan County will be completely finished!
"How come an exiled prisoner isn't wearing shackles?"
Li Dali didn't believe her.
What are exiled convicts doing at a gambling den?
What kind of lunatic would come here to gamble after being exiled?!
"I'm just here to gather information. It's none of your business. If you want to live, then you'll have to join the exile group."
My niece will naturally detoxify you. Besides, if anything happens to my niece, you won't survive either.
Xu Yinan was used to bullying others by relying on his power, but this was the first time he had ever relied on the power of a five-year-old child.
Li Dali's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "There's a plague in Jiangnan. If you want to get to Lingnan, you have to pass through Jiangnan. I'd be crazy to follow you!"
"What?!"
Xu Yinan's heart skipped a beat.
His brother-in-law is still in Jiangnan!
"I'm not lying to you, the old Valley Master came down the mountain because of the plague in Jiangnan."
Jiangnan had kept this matter under wraps and dared not release it. The old valley master only came down the mountain after being invited by the governor of Jiangnan.
I have some connections with the old valley master. He came down the mountain to borrow people from me, which is how I found out about this.
"You know the old Valley Master, why don't you ask him to detoxify you?"
Yun Zhao remained skeptical about the matter.
"The old Valley Master recognizes this poison, but the method to cure it is inhumane, so he is unwilling to take action."
The poison was introduced from the black jujube.
In her previous life, she discovered the antidote formula in her master's medical records in the twentieth year of the Yuanqi era.
Her master also told her that he had a friend in the martial arts world who had been poisoned by this poison.
Unfortunately, before he could find a suitable antidote, his friend died from the poison.
Judging from this, this friend from the martial arts world is probably Li Dali standing right in front of us.
"I know other ways to save you, but I absolutely have to go to Jiangnan."
Yun Zhao guessed that Xu Yinan went to the gambling house in order to get some news about Jiangnan.
Just as he expected, the gambling den was a mixed bag, with all sorts of rumors circulating.
Sure enough, they even managed to find out information that the imperial court didn't know.
"Besides, didn't you say that the old Valley Master asked you to borrow people to go to Jiangnan? With the old Valley Master around, what are you afraid of?"
Yun Zhao wished he could introduce her to the old Valley Master immediately.
With Master here, Jiangnan will surely be safe and sound!
Where are you staying now?
Since exiled people can move freely, they must have some means of transportation; he needs to think about what to do next.
"Fu Lai Inn."
"You two, escort them back."
He needed to confirm whether what the two men were saying was true or false.
Hearing that he had actually released the person, Xu Yinan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, inside the Fulai Inn, everyone was filled with gloom.
"Anan is really outrageous! He actually took Zhaozhao to a place like that!"
Xu Qingyi's eyes reddened with anger.
Xu Yifei rolled up his sleeves: "Sis, I'll go and bring my second brother back right now!"
"Young Master, this servant will show you the way!"
Zhi Xia hurriedly walked outside.
She was really worried; what if something really happened if she was a few steps too late?
"Ah Fei, be careful not to get into any trouble with the people from the gambling house. Just bring your second brother back!"
Xu Qingyi stuffed the silver into her younger brother's hand and gave him heartfelt instructions.
"Don't worry, sister!"
Xu Yifei left in a hurry.
After walking a few blocks, he bumped into Xu Yinan, who was returning home.
"Big brother? What happened to you..."
Without saying a word, Xu Yifei rushed forward, pulled Yun Zhao out of his arms, and punched Xu Yinan in the face!
